onnrcn REINFORCED FERRULE FOR CUES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 2c, 1916.

Application filed April 10,1916. Serial No 90,020.

1 0 all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, HARRY A. Jos'r, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reinforced Ferrules for Cues, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to non-metallic ferparts in both views.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the end or point portion of abllllitl'd one having the usual reduced stud or dowel 2 for the reception and attachment of a ferrule 3.

mercial rod celluloid, in which the grain or fiber extends longitudinally with a tendency to check and split in the like direction, and in forming the outer annular section 6 aforee said, out of commercial sheet celluloid, which is composed of the required member of thin sheets welded together during manufacture, and in which the tendency to check and split is in one direction of the sheet.

By the described association of the parts, I have found from extended practical use that the checking and splitting tendency of the one section in its natural direction is 'efiiciently counteracted by the tendency of the other section to check and split in its nat ural direction, such directions of checking and splitting being in right-angle relation in the present structure.

The present improvement is equally adapted for use in a coupling ferrule for sectional billiard cues.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A ferrule for billiard cues, formed of non metallic material of a fibrous nature, and comprising inner and outer annular sections associatedtogether, the inner section having its direction of checking longitudinal of the sectionand the outer section having its direction of checking transverse of the section, substantially as set forth.

Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 8th day of April, 1916.

HARRY A. JOST.
